The thesis aims to find possible approaches for improved electromechanical properties in KNN-based piezoelectric single crystals. Both submerged-seed and top-seeded solution growth techniques were employed to produce single crystals. Conclusions from the crystal growth aspect are: (i) For individual elements, segregation coefficients highly rely on the initial concentration in the liquid solution. (ii) A competition between elements occupied on the same lattice site was found. (iii) The very low Li segregation coefficient in the KNN matrix is responsible for the occurrence of a secondary phase with the tetragonal tungsten bronze structure. (iv) Observed optically-cloudy regions in as-grown crystals decrease the electrical response and can b...
